Project Day: Kitchen Skirt

Bins look ugly and I have a recess in my kitchen for them. I had not bothered to do anything to cover them until I saw a post from Anna's ABT blog about kitchen skirts to hide things. So this week I have finally done it, and on the cheap of course!

I picked up these vintage kitchen cafe curtains from Lifeline for $1.50.

Measuring the height I required I sewed the 2 together to make 1 piece.

super cute - happy ruffles are always better than clutter. I just hung a white dry erase board in our kitchen to hide a messy opening - your idea is sweeter. I typed this twice, as it seems I erased the first response, so I hope it doesn't appear twice. Oh well, then you really know I mean it.

Oh you and Sandy will have lots of fun together. I just did a skirt for my masterbath and love it...great idea to use curtains...I like your thinking! Your dishes are amazing..I like the fact that you have them out in the open...I use nothing but mismatched china for everyday use but mine are hidden in my cupboards...I need to look for a plate rack! You really have the best inpiration in blogland! Happy Weekend...will be good for me..off to some craft and antique fairs!

It really turned out cute. The pictures are great. Thank You for sharing. This week did go by to fast for me also the older I get the faster it goes. You also have a wonderful weekend and I will look forward to your next post.

Sandy is a wonderful name for your machine! I love it! What a clever suggestion. I also love this post as well. Thanks Simone. Can you think of a great idea for those very ugly outdoor bins now? I ordered Cath Kidston's SEW book this week. Can't wait to see it (not that I can sew at all!) xx

Hi Simone, Thanks for stopping by bonFlourish. I love your plate rack and I'm so glad you invited me to drop by your blog, it's beautiful! I love seeing your plate rack in the full room view. Your kitchen has great charm!
